Beginning Tuesday, March 4, 2025:
• Open Session for public comment before Closed Session will begin at 3:30 p.m.
• Regular City Council meetings will begin at 5:00 p.m.
An earlier starting time should allow for more focused discussions, timely decision-making, and more inclusiveness of citizens who are not able to attend late meetings.
This change will take place on a trial basis for six-months beginning with the March 4, 2025, meeting. With the change in the starting time, the standard/expected end time for the meetings will be 10:00 p.m. instead of 11:00 p.m.
Should the change in starting time prove unsuccessful in completing the City’s business in a timely manner, City Council meetings will return to a 4:30 or 5:00 p.m. Open Session start time and a 6:30 p.m. Regular City Council meeting start time.
